Reviews

This new volume by Hunt, Hooper and Yowell considers the more precise issue of how parliaments engage with matters of human rights. The papers in this book make clear that Australian readers have much to learn on the topic because the many authors shed light on structures and approaches from other jurisdictions that are far more detailed and rigorous than those in Australia. -- Matthew Groves, Monash University Australian Journal of Administrative Law
